Barbie Trades In Bikini For Blouse


I noticed Barbie (the baby-boomer doll) has taken a decisive turn in her life. Now, gosh, what, 48 years old she's decided to have a career.

Good for her. We're all living longer. And Obamacare will make everyone live as long as a giant tortoise. In case you're not up to speed with your turtle life span, the GT lives on average for about 177 years.

If Barbie is reflecting the times, then I have a suggestion for Mattel: The Barbie and Ken divorce kit. Or the ranting political Barbie doll endowed with no soul and a penchant for devious deeds.

In any event, I'm sure Lisa Simpson would be happy to learn that Barbie wants to be an accountant.

Lisa, if you Simpsons junkies know all too well, wanted an alternative to the Malibu Stacy doll, a sexist doll, by creating Lisa Lionheart; a pro-feminist doll designed to be more like writer Gertrude Stein.

Barbie has a come a long way from saying things like, I kid you not, "Math is tough!" and "Will there ever be enough clothes?"

But Malibu Stacy still thinks, "I'm just a girl!"
